Inspired by a song

Try it on Tuesday Challenge- Sponsored by One Stop Card Craft

This week I have chosen the theme and I would like you to create a card which is inspired by a song.

I decided to use this song as my inspiration, just follow the link to have a listen.

I think this one could be fun recalling songs that we love,or that bring back some memories . I just can't wait to see what everyone comes up with.

The DT have come up with some crackers so please do stop by the TioT blog to get some inspiration.

Thanks for stopping by,

Tuesday Taggers.

It's Tuesday again and time for the Tuesday Taggers challenge which this week has been set by our lovely Georgina.  She would like us to create a box with something you've made inside.


I decide to put a bracelet I made from a simple kit I bought at the NEC in my box.  It 's made by knitting jewellery wire and adding tiny beads as you go.
The box was made using large scalloped circle nestie labels for the top and base cut from card which I had coloured using a Big and Juicy pad (Mountain Meadow)  misted with water and sprayed with glimmer mist iridescent gold. The main box and lid were made on my Ultimate Pro (available from Crafters Companion).  The flowers were cut using  scalloped nesties, scrunched up and distressed with brushed corduroy DI.

I do hope you'll decide to join us this week for the challenge. If you need some inspiration and to find out more about the challenge please visit the TT challenge blog and check out the DT's fantastic projects.

Thank you so much for stopping by today I really do appreciate it and love to read your comments.

Have a good day,

Hugs, Pat xx

Another Sneak Peek and Tuesday Taggers.

Good morning 

Well its Tuesday so you've guessed it, it's time for another challenge at Tuesday Taggers.

This week the theme of books has been chosen by our very own Michelle. I believe Michelle would like us to use a particular book of your choice as inspiration for your creation, whatever you decide to make, as usual that's  up to you. Please pop  over to the challenge blog to find out the finer details and to check out the fabulous creations that the DT have come up with this week.

Here's mine

I wasn't too sure what to do this week so thought my best option was to have a rummage through the rubber and the first stamp that I found that fitted the book theme would then be it.  So here he is in all his glory the one and only Paddington Bear.

Nothing too complicated involved in this Tag/bookmark as I've had brain ache the last few days so couldn't do complicated.

Anyway I brushed the card with distress inks and stamped the images with versafine then coloured with the distress inks. Punched the edges and threaded cord through. Added a bit of ribbon and Bob's your uncle it's done.

Please do visit the TT blog and join us this week, we'd love to see your take on the theme, probably far more intellectual than mine!

Now another sneak peek of the absolutely stunning Adorables by Jayne Nestorenko which will be Pick of the Week starting Friday 10th September on Create and Craft.

The stamped image has been coloured with distress inks and the papers are from the CD. The Perfectly Pretty Petals flowers are also available from Crafters Companion and there are loads in the boxes and such a wonderful array of colours.
Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to pop over to the Crafters Companion blog to leave a comment and be in with a chance of winning one of 10 £30 goody bags.

Catch you later.

It's a man's world

Tuesday Taggers Challenge

Create something for the man in your life

This weeks theme which has been chosen by Bee. Her OH has a birthday this week and with Fathers day not far away she thought why not have one for the men in your life.

As usual anything you choose to make is brilliant as long as its for a Man!

The Craft Barn have been kind enough to sponsor the challenge this week donating a £15 voucher to spend in their online store.

I decided to make a card with my nephew in mind and I know he would love to have time to relax in the garden, in this gorgeous weather, on his birthday.  So what better image to use than the gorgeous and extemely popular Popcorn the Bear.  I've used the CD to create the paper and stamped the image and coloured it with copics. They are both from the Mens set and are available from Crafters Companion.

Our design team have come up with the goods as usual and some fab ideas to start you thinking of your own project so why not pop over to the TT challenge blog to check them out and hopefully get inspired to join in with us this week.
Thank you so much for stopping by and I look forward to checking out your creations.

Love,
Pat xx
